Lush red fruit aromas scream Saint-Émilion, and that festivities have begun. Ripe rich red and black cherry aromas, as well as florals – hibiscus and rose petals. Red and yellow plums on the attack, a mid palate of red fruit bathed in silky acidity and a quick, somewhat tannic finish.

Vintage 2018
Aromas of blackberries, mahogany, black pepper and wet leaves. A complex, joyful, gorgeously layered taste of rich red and black fruits, Dutch licorice, cumin, pepper, chocolate and a sliver of mandarins. Non-obtrusive tannins meld well with the acidity. Impressive overall. – DECANTER: 92
A sizeable structure makes this pretty subdued right now, but it opens to show measured and attractively paced black fruits, combined with sappy mineralogy, crushed stone and slate. Enjoyable. – James Suckling: 92-93

Vintage 2019
Lush red fruit aromas scream Saint-Émilion, and that festivities have begun. Ripe rich red and black cherry aromas, as well as florals – hibiscus and rose petals. Red and yellow plums on the attack, a mid palate of red fruit bathed in silky acidity and a quick, somewhat tannic finish.
The 2019 presents itself with a dark color and a nose of black fruits. The wine is, as always, suave, and charming on the attack, then it shows its muscles and its woodiness, but without departing from its elegance because the tannins are fine, a pretty finish still easily recognizable by its Carmenere. A beautiful bottle full of charm. The grape variety is 80% merlot, 10% cabernet-franc, 5% cabernet-sauvignon and 5% carménère. – James Suckling: 93
